Twin Blades are the most balanced class in The World. They are noted for their superior traveling speed and hit rate. Twin Blades are the proverbial "jack of all trades, master of none" due to the fact that while they have decent attack stat growths and have decent magical stats, they are unable to equip the strongest armors, have lower attack growths than the other classes, and do not have access to stronger magic skills. Their greatest strength lies with their multi-hit skills. Each skill has several elemental versions, and as a result are capable of dealing massive damage to enemies weak against those elements.

In The World R:2, Twin Blades are extremely versatile, with more weapon types and subtypes than any other class. Their attacks are somewhat weak, but quick and easy to combo. Their rapid weak attacks create many opportunities for using Rengeki attacks. Their greatest weaknesses are their short attack range making it difficult to hit highly mobile enemies that often block with charged attacks and difficulty in hitting airborne enemies with regular attacks.

Weapons

List of Skills

There are three basic types of Twin Blade attacks: Staccato (deals over 15 hits to a single target), Tiger Claws (deals over 5 hits to targets within the player's vicinity), and Saber Dance (deals 4 strong hits to a single enemy). Although the non-elemental versions of these attacks don't do quite as much damage as one would hope, the elemental versions can deal ridiculous damage to monsters with the opposite element. Unfortunately, none of these attacks have versions dealing Earth or Water damage.

Mistranslations

Tokyopop has translated the Twin Blade class (in order) as Twin Sword, Double Blade, Twin User, and Double Knife-Fighter. Twin Blades have also had inconsistent English names in the Japanese version, including Twin User, Twin Blade, and Twin Sword.

Trivia

The skills Sword Blast (similar to Whirlwind) and Hellfire (similar to Ghost Falcon) were removed from the final release of the .hack//G.U. Games.

The version update information at the start of Reminisce states that the number of combo hits contained within the basic attack pattern of Twin Blades has increased from 4 to 7. However, Haseo and Azure Kite seems to be the only Twin Blades affected by this, as Alkaid and other Twin Blades continue to use the attack pattern displayed by Haseo in Rebirth.
